0:00:04 > 0:00:08Big Howard, I don't want to worry you...
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Oh, you've not spilt your drink?- Er, no.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- Have you swallowed a wasp?- No.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14The country's at war?!
0:00:14 > 0:00:18I don't think so. Do you worry about those things?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Constantly. It's called being a grown up.
0:00:20 > 0:00:25- Blimey! No wonder you're going bald. - What?! Don't tell me that!
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- I'll have to worry about that!- And the small dinosaur on the table.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Sorry, dinosaur?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Yeah, dinosaur.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Where is it?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Oh, it's going off.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39When you say small dinosaur, what, what exactly do you mean?
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Well, I mean, it was a dinosaur. Only very small.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Right. What sort of dinosaur?
0:00:46 > 0:00:50It was triceratop-docus rex. I'd recognise one anywhere.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Is this one of your jokes?
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- Like when you thought you saw a bandersnatch in the attic?- No.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00I was up there for five hours with a butterfly net.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- No, it's really real.- Really?- Really.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hang on a minute. It said in the news
0:01:07 > 0:01:12that there was a lizard escaped from the reptile house, at the local zoo.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16It might be that. You keep watch. I'll go and get the newspaper.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- What if it attacks me? - Well, keep hold of it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Or make sure it keeps hold of you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Here it is.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Behold, the dino catcher! - How on earth did you...?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Just a little something I knocked up.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39It says here a lizard escaped from the reptile house, at the zoo last
0:01:39 > 0:01:43night. And is believed to be at large in the Purley area.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Members of the public are advised not to build large traps,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- to try and catch it.- Oops.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- If you see it, call the reptile police.- Brilliant!
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Right, where is he?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57All we need to do now is tempt him into the trap.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Oh, I think I can see his tail. - What do dinosaurs eat?- Lizards.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Where do we get lizards from?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07No, no. I mean, it's not a dinosaur, it's a lizard. What do lizards eat?
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Er, cakes?- No.- Oh, come on! Everything eats cakes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's a Victoria Sponge!
0:02:18 > 0:02:23I thought they ate grubs or something. It's... I,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I don't know how that works.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27What shall we do now?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Call the reptile police at the zoo.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Well, done. You've done a good job.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Very professional bit of trapping. Good idea with the sponge cake.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Big Howard said it wouldn't work.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- He thought it was a dinosaur. - Well, sort of dinosaurs.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Dinosaurs are pre-historic reptiles, with scaly skin.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- So, quite a lot like a lizard. - Told you!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- It's not actually a dinosaur, though, is it?- Well, no.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Told you, ha, ha!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Could I hold him?
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Yes, you could. They're very placid creatures, unless they're alarmed by
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- sudden movement or noise. - KLAXON BLASTS
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I, Little Howard, have come with another one of my big questions!
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Could the dinosaurs ever come back? - I do wish you wouldn't do that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- What did he say?- He said, I do wish you wouldn't do that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Don't worry, he's more scared of you, than you are of him.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Are you sure?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'Prehistoric Purley hit headlines today
0:03:32 > 0:03:37'When a fossilised crinkle cut chip was found in the tarmac.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:38KLAXON BLASTS
0:03:38 > 0:03:41# I love monkeys
0:03:41 > 0:03:42# I love monkeys
0:03:42 > 0:03:46# All those happy little chirpy little monkeys
0:03:46 > 0:03:47# With their tails
0:03:47 > 0:03:49# And their bananas
0:03:49 > 0:03:53# I think that if we were all monkeys we'd have happier mananas
0:03:53 > 0:03:55# Give me monkeys Lots of monkeys
0:03:55 > 0:03:58# For you know that it's the monkeys I adore
0:03:58 > 0:04:01# If my love said that she did not love those monkeys
0:04:01 > 0:04:04# I wouldn't love her any more
0:04:04 > 0:04:06# Thank you very much! #
0:04:06 > 0:04:09ROARING
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Euurrgh!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Brilliant, a dinosaur!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19He just ate one of the monkeys. You love monkeys!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22When have I ever said I love monkeys?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24The song?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Oh, yes, yes. I do. But dinosaurs are even better.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Why don't you sing, "I love dinosaurs"?- (Monkeys are cheaper!)
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Now, don't worry, this won't hurt a bit.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Ow!- When are we going to answer my big question?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm a little bit busy at the moment.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- What are you doing? - This one will hurt quite a lot.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Ow!- Is she giving you Botox in your Botox?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57No, she's giving me nine inoculation injections, just in case that lizard
0:04:57 > 0:04:59gave me a tropical disease.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- How many injections is the lizard getting?- One big one, hopefully. Ow!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Is one of them to stop you turning into a dinosaur?
0:05:07 > 0:05:13It's a lizard! I don't think lizard bites work like vampire bites.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm sure I'll be fine. Ow!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Nurse, could you leave the needles in?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And then his bum will look like a hedgehog.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26That's a bit unorthodox. But sounds like a laugh. So yes, we'll do that.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29What?! No, no, you could not! No, she can't do that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Do you have to sit gawping?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Well, I need an answer! Could dinosaurs ever come back?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Dinosaurs can't come back, Little Howard.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42They died out millions and millions of years ago.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Oh, this next needle looks enormous.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- She's going to have to take a run up for this one.- You are not helping!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52This one will be excruciatingly painful.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Do we have to give me these injections in my bottom?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00We normally do them in your arm. But your friend
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- said you'd prefer them in your bottom.- What!? You...- Hold still.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06You little... AHHHHH!
0:06:06 > 0:06:13I'll go and talk to Mother. Mother, could the dinosaurs ever come back?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Certainly. How about Tuesday afternoon?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Brilliant!- What's brilliant?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Whenever you think anything's brilliant, it's usually awful.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Mother's bringing the dinosaurs back, on Tuesday.- How?!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29She could get the bus. Or her mother could drop her.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34How could an entire species get the bus back from extinction?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- And who's the mother of all dinosaurs?- Pat, from EastEnders?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Mother, why are telling Little Howard
0:06:41 > 0:06:43he can bring the dinosaurs back?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- Oh, the dinosaurs! I thought you said Jenny.- What?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Easy mistake to make.- What?!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51You know, Jenny!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I thought you asked if Jenny could come round. Lovely girl.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59"Jenny" doesn't sound anything like "dinosaur"!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Ah, but it does in German.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Oh!- I think I'm going to go back to bed.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Are the dinosaurs coming on Tuesday, or not?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I need to know whether I should tidy my room.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13They are definitely coming round on Tuesday.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Go tidy your room.- She said Jenny was coming.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Oh, no. Jenny's been extinct for over 65 million years.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Oh, for goodness sake! Ow!
0:07:24 > 0:07:30So, this picture is an example of a long extinct, giant lizard,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34who lived between the triassic period, 250 million years ago,
0:07:34 > 0:07:39and the cretaceous period, 65 million years ago.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And this is picture of Jenny, who lives round the corner.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Right you are. I've got it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:51Good. Now...what's...this?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Um...hmm...no.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01What about this one?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05That is an ichthyosaur. They were giant marine reptiles,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09who ate turtles and squid. And that's a lovely girl, Jenny.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I know her mother from Bingo. She won £50 last week.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Oh, yes, hello, hello, Mother Helpline, yes. Yeah, it's Mother.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20She's, she's confusing dinosaurs
0:08:20 > 0:08:24with a girl called Jenny, who lives round the corner.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Yeah, she's doing it again. OK, great, I'll do it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32So, just a firm, open-handed biff, on the side of the monitor.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Oh! That's a Tyrannosaurus Rex and that's Jenny.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Oh!- That's done the trick.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Great, thank you. Right, what shall we do now?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I want to find another dinosaur. - I'm afraid we can't.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I can. I just set another trap.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Mother, what do Tyrannosaurus Rex's eat?- Oh, er...
0:08:50 > 0:08:56Never mind. Mother, can you explain that dinosaurs can't come back?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Oh, yes. Dinosaurs are extinct.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03But how they got that way is open to scientific speculation.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06One theory says there was a very severe ice age
0:09:06 > 0:09:09and they couldn't survive in such a cold climate.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Another theory suggests an asteroid smashed into the earth,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15wiping them all out.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- I think it was probably because they left the tap on.- What?
0:09:18 > 0:09:23They left the tap on and drowned. Not a lot of scientists agree.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Eek! Asteroid, definitely asteroids. Or, a huge flying pie.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Eek! Probably an asteroid.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32OK, so the dinosaurs are extinct.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Yes.- So, where can we find one?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The Isle of Wight. No, I'm serious.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Oh, really?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44They're always finding old dinosaur bones and fossils there.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47If we want to bring the dinosaurs back,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- we should go.- Brilliant! Where's the Isle of Wight?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I don't know.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I think you need to brush up on your geography, Big Howard.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Turned out the Isle of Wight's just underneath Hampshire, in the bottom
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- of Britain. Handy that, isn't it? - Where shall we start digging?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Well, not here. This is the ferry. - Is that not part of the Isle?
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- Not technically.- There might be dinosaur bones under our feet.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21According to the deck plan, the only thing under us is a snack shop.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Let's dig down to the snack shop. I'm a bit peckish.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Probably safest to use the stairs. - Oh, right.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Where are we going to find these dinosaurs, then?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- We need to find a paleontologist.- What's that?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I think it's an expert in buckets.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Right, a paleontologist, I see. That's probably Latin. Why?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Well, we're at the seaside. We'll need a spadeontologist as well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Oh, I know. You stay here and keep an eye out, and I'll just go over here.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Oh, OK. See you in a bit.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I may be some time.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Somebody's painted these binoculars green!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I've been looking everywhere for you. What you doing?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Um, research?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18What are we going to do now?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22The lady in the..."fossil" shop says we should go
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and see an expert at Dinosaur Isle.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28OK, can I help you with any research? Carry any of it?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Eat any of it?- No, it's all mine. Afraid not.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Let's go.- Dinosaurs!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Wow, what are they?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50Well, that looks like a letter J. It's probably Jurassic period.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53There's the letter G and the letter E. This is
0:11:53 > 0:11:57clearly a dinosaur school, where they learnt to read.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03It says here, it's a 140 million year old fossil, called an ammonite.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I meant that.- I don't think dinosaurs could read.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09They'd have read all the history books,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13And stayed indoors on the day the meteor was going to hit them.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19This is all very well, this ammonite stuff, but it's not...Wow!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Wow!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Cor!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Look at that!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Blimey, Big Howard, what's that?
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Well, according to the sign, it's an iguana called Don.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38No, it says it's an iguanodon. They lived 140 million years ago.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43They ate mainly plants. It's very big for a vegetarian!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But what was his Christian name?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49No, it doesn't look like a Don. It looks more like a Clarence.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- Or something like that. - Holy diplodocus! Look at that?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56What do you think that is?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Wow! Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I reckon this is...this is Paula.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Paula?- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04This is 125 million years old!
0:13:04 > 0:13:08It's a seven metre long killer dinosaur, with razor sharp teeth
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and claws that can tear your face off with one slash.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Looks like the lady who works down the post office.- What?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19But you haven't been taking this seriously!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- I'm going to go find someone who knows...- Sorry!
0:13:22 > 0:13:26It does look like the woman who works down the post office.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Let me out!
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Excuse me, something seems to have gone wrong with the lock.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Lock seems to be stuck. Hello?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Excuse me, my friend Big Howard has
0:13:39 > 0:13:42accidently been locked in the gentleman's toilet, by me.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Do you work here? - I'm Steve, the curator -
0:13:45 > 0:13:50the person who looks after all the fossils, in Dinosaur Isle.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- So, you're a paleontologist? - Yeah, paleontologist.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Geologist, as well, to understand the rocks.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Am I right that a paleontologist is an expert in buckets?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Well, we often use buckets a lot, actually, to get all the muck off
0:14:06 > 0:14:11the bones we're trying to get out. But mainly I look at ancient life.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Things which have been here and have died and got fossilised.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It is the study of ancient animals and plants.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22But why are you looking for them on the Isle of Wight?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26The oldest thing I've seen here was the snack shop lady on the ferry.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29But when I asked if she was a dinosaur, she threw me out!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Didn't let Big Howard buy a flapjack.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36When the dinosaurs were here, 125 million years ago, we were
0:14:36 > 0:14:40on the same line of latitude, the same bit of geography,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42that north Africa is today.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47So, they lived and died and after the years of sediments piling
0:14:47 > 0:14:52up on top, as the coast retreats, then these bits of bones fall out.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55So they lived and died here, and got trapped.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00It says in my Dinosaur Hunter's Handbook, that there are real
0:15:00 > 0:15:04footprints of dinosaurs on the Isle of Wight. Is that true?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Go to Hanover Point, and as the tide comes in, clay falls down.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14Out come these massive, concrete like, three-toed foot casts.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Right. I think I'll go and find them. Could you keep an eye on Big Howard?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23He's still trapped in the loo. Just push some food under the door
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- a couple of times a day for me? - Yeah, we'll look after Big Howard.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Right, so this is Hanover Point.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Where are these dinosaur footprints?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Oh, look, there's one! Oh, no, that's my footprint.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42Right, in the early cretaceous period, 140 million years ago,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46this area was a boggy flood plain. Oh, maybe Mother was right.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48They did leave the tap on.
0:15:50 > 0:15:57Oh, my goodness, look at that! Wow! I can see its claws and everything.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Right, these are the footprints of an iguanodon.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And when it had left them,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05they filled up with sand, blowing in the area.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08And the sand went hard and left this impression.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12That's amazing! These have been stuck in a bog
0:16:12 > 0:16:17for 140 million years. Oh, that reminds me...
0:16:17 > 0:16:18KNOCK KNOCK!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Is anybody there?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I've run out of toilet paper.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Honestly, I've finished.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29That was amazing! Can anyone find dinosaur bones?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Yeah. The only problem is recognising what you're looking at.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37There's loads of things which look like bones and aren't.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And lots of things which don't actually are.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Can you help us find a dinosaur? - You might not find a dinosaur,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46but we will find fossils.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Brilliant! Well, I suppose we better let Big Howard out of the loo.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- So, what we looking for, then? - Dinosaur bones tend to be black.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, anything black amidst these rocks.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03But you've got to look. That's a big oyster shell,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06you can see the line between the two shells.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08That's been washed out of these
0:17:08 > 0:17:12tough rocks by the incoming tide, over many years.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Eventually, the floor of the lagoon sank, and the sea invaded.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Covered everything and laid down sandy rocks,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23full of big oysters. There's a block of it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27This is limestone. It's full of fossil oysters.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Look, they're all over the place.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31They've been trapped for 120 million years,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34when this was part of a lagoon.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So look here, we can see all sorts of shapes.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, look, here, here's a sponge.
0:17:39 > 0:17:4475 million years ago it died, and eventually its skeleton broke down,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and formed what we call flint.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51What, 75 million years ago, I could have washed my face with that?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Well, you could, yes. If you'd been around then.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Brilliant!- Is this a dinosaur bone?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01It's black but unfortunately, this is a piece of wood.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03How do you test it?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Find a rock that is tougher than what you're going to try and mark.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Black. Black means it's got to be a piece of fossil tree. So, that was.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16That black thing is bone.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21But it's not dinosaur - it's from a shark. It's the spine of shark.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23That's a shark's spine? Wow!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's another indication of what the environment was,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30120 million years ago - there was water all over the place.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32So, it makes a great fossil.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Yeah, but I still haven't seen any bits of a dinosaur.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38That's a piece of dinosaur.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Now, I know it doesn't look very much.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44But if you look closely, see those little dots?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Those are bone cells which were broken as it washed up on the beach.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53It could come from a meat-eating dinosaur, 10m long, even more.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Cool!
0:18:55 > 0:18:59A sort of killer of iguanodon. We call it new hunter.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Brilliant! There must be loads more in the cliffs.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Let's start digging!
0:19:04 > 0:19:08You get trapped in there, and I'll have to pull you out.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Or dig us out millions of years later.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14What is the best thing that's been found on this beach?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Recently, another really nice dinosaur bone has been found.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- And I just happen to have it. Do you want to see it?- Yeah!
0:19:22 > 0:19:25At last, proper dinosaurs!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Now, this was found by a friend of mine, not that long ago.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Pretty fragile. One, two, three...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35those are bones of the back.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Got to be quite a large plant- eating dinosaur, we call iguanodon.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43And that name only means, "teeth like iguana".
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Brilliant. Can we look for some more?- Of course we can.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- It would be nice to find the rest of this!- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55We'll find something round here. Big Howard, I've found something!
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- There's a bit of black stuff there. - Oh, great. What have we got here?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Ah, you've got a piece of dinosaur poo.- Dinosaur poo. Wow!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Brilliant. Cor, thanks very much for that, Steven.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I'll just leave that, there.- Ow!
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Little Howard's been knocked unconscious by some dinosaur poo!
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Oh, that was such a shame, because he was such a fan of dinosaurs.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Big Howard, Steven, where are you?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Actually, where on earth am I?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32GROWLING Oh, there you are.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Big Howard, have you, have you eaten too much research?
0:20:36 > 0:20:41You're looking a little bit green. A bit like...A MASSIVE DINOSAUR!!.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46'The mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex bears down upon another hapless victim.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Who's that talking? Help, help!
0:20:49 > 0:20:51HE SCREAMS
0:20:51 > 0:20:56'Will Little Howard get eaten by the dinosaur? Of course not!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59'But what cunning way will we find to get him out of it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- 'Excuse me, I'm narrating this bit. - Oh, yeah?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05'Who will win the punch up between the two narrators?'
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Will you get on with it? I want to find out if I get eaten!
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- 'Sorry.- Sorry.'
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Tense? Nervous?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Fed up with constantly being eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Try Rex Off, the lethal new Tyrannosaurus Rex repellent spray,
0:21:24 > 0:21:30available in two fatal aromas. Burning Meteorite and Cool Ice Age.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Just one squirt and your T-Rex will be R-I-P Rex.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36So, isn't it time you switched to Rex Off?
0:21:36 > 0:21:43Voted number one Tyrannosaurus Rex repellent of the cretaceous period.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47'My name is Little Howard.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51'I was struck on the head by dinosaur poo and I woke up
0:21:51 > 0:21:57in the year 100 million BC. Am I mad, in a dream sequence, or back in time?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01'Whatever happens, it's like I've landed on a different planet.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07'Maybe if I can find out a reason, I can get home.' Where's my Rex Off?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08RRROOOAAARR!
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Well, thank goodness for advertising.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14'What is a cartoon boy doing here?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17'This is supposed to be a serious documentary.'
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Is it?- 'Yes.'- So you actually brought the dinosaurs back?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24'Um, uh, ah, um... Look over there, it's an anatotitan!'
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Cool! Hello, fellas, what are you doing?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30'While they are drinking, the ananotitans
0:22:30 > 0:22:33'are attacked by a Tyrannosaurus.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37'She easily catches a straggler and tucks right in.'
0:22:37 > 0:22:39No! Leave him alone, you bully!
0:22:39 > 0:22:43'She needs to provide breakfast for her young family.'
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- What about me? I haven't eaten all day.- 'You are not a baby T-Rex.'
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- I still need my breakfast, though. - 'The mum delivers a slab of meat.'
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Oh, dear. Actually, I...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I'm not hungry. I just remembered I had a flapjack.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02'At only four weeks old, competition is fierce amongst the chicks.'
0:23:02 > 0:23:04After you, I insist.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08'In two months time, the mother will abandon her chicks.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11'If she doesn't decide to eat them, herself.'
0:23:11 > 0:23:15What sort of a mother are you? This one's got the right idea.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18'Already, the least agile of the chicks
0:23:18 > 0:23:21'has been excluded from the feed.'
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Never mind, hey? We'll try the snack shop on the way home.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Where is the ferry terminal? Maybe it's this way.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30'The iguanodon's appetite is huge,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34'and the herd travels in search of fresh vegetation.'
0:23:34 > 0:23:39I'll follow these guys. They look like they know where they're going.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Wait for me!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45'Most dinosaurs can only crudely slice food
0:23:45 > 0:23:49'with their teeth. But iguanodons were the first herbivores with
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- 'back teeth, that can grind before swallowing.'- Oh, my head.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58'The iguanodon are being stalked.'
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Oh, dear. I've had enough of this.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03I'm out of here.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Oh, ow!
0:24:04 > 0:24:09I love dinosaurs, but I've decided I don't want to live with them.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11They're really nasty to each other.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I hope the dinosaurs don't come back.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15HORN TOOTS
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Oh, what's that noise?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Sounds like a car...
0:24:22 > 0:24:26At last! Are you all right, Little Howard? I was worried.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Where's the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- What, the fibre glass one, or the skeleton one?- Real one!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The one that's going to eat her own children!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38This sounds like one of your dream sequences.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41But it can't have been. It seemed so expensive.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45You, um, knocked yourself out on, on, on some dinosaur poo.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50The doctor said you had concussion, so we had to come straight home.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54There was loads of other stuff to see. But we couldn't do it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- We must visit the Isle of Wight again one day.- Yes, we must.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Two cheers for the Isle of Wight! - Just two?- Well, let's not go mad.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Hi, Mother, we're home!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11There you are, at last. Where on earth have you two been?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13We've been to Hartleypool, Mother.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18Oh, Hartleypool! Little island off the bottom of Hampshire.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Did you find out if the dinosaurs could ever come back?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Well, let's put it like this...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26SNARL
0:25:26 > 0:25:30# Will I ever chat to A velociraptor?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35# Go one on one With an iguanodon?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39# Will my eyes alight on An anatotitan?
0:25:39 > 0:25:44# Will they ever focus On a diplodocus?
0:25:44 > 0:25:49# Oh, will I see a T-Rex attack A stegosaurus's spiky back?
0:25:49 > 0:25:54# Utahraptors hunting in packs Will the dinosaurs ever come back? #
0:25:57 > 0:26:02# Will I share my packed meal With a terradactyl?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06# Will I give my coleslaw To an ichyosaur?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11# Give my fizzy pop To triceratops?
0:26:11 > 0:26:16# Have a slice of cheese... # That's my cheese, give me my cheese!
0:26:16 > 0:26:18# Sing the chorus To a brontosaurus
0:26:18 > 0:26:23# Oh, will I see a T-Rex attack A stegosaurus's spiky back?
0:26:23 > 0:26:24# Utahraptors hunting in packs
0:26:24 > 0:26:27# Oh, will the dinosaurs ever come back?
0:26:27 > 0:26:32# But a stegosaurus Is going to floor us
0:26:32 > 0:26:37# And a terradactyl Will have me for a packed meal
0:26:37 > 0:26:41# With an iguanodon I'll get stepped upon
0:26:41 > 0:26:46# And a tyrannosaurus Is going to want to gore us
0:26:48 > 0:26:51# I hope the dinosaurs don't come back
0:26:51 > 0:26:53# Or else I'll be a T-Rex's snack
0:26:53 > 0:26:55# I've seen a brontosaurus attack
0:26:55 > 0:26:58# I hope the dinosaurs don't come back!
0:26:58 > 0:27:02# Hope the dinosaurs don't come back Or else I'll be a T-Rex's snack
0:27:02 > 0:27:07# I've seen a brontosaurus attack Hope the dinosaurs never come back! #
0:27:07 > 0:27:09SPLASH!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I think that summed everything up.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15I still don't think you should have kicked me into the sea.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Seemed a good way to end.- Next time I'll get a utahraptor onto you.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22We've established we can't bring the dinosaurs back!
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I can make some calls. Oh, is that a diplodocus?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28No, I think that's a nudist.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33Before we go, we also discovered something else on the Isle of Wight.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36A collection of ancient fossilised jokes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Paleontologists think these might be the oldest jokes in the world.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We thought they'd fit nicely into our show.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Yes, some of them aren't in good condition, I'm afraid.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Some of the triassic wisecracks are shoddy.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55They were rude. Those plateosauruses should wash their mouths out.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58But we thought we'd read you some of the best ones.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05OK, I say, I say, I say, my diplodocus has got no nose.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Really? How does it smell?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10It can't. Which means it doesn't detect predators
0:28:10 > 0:28:14effectively! Luckily though, it also smells awful.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19So most of them keep their distance anyway. Ha!
